My second novel, historical fiction, will be released on May 31, with a big launch in New Orleans. The book, THE SEAMSTRESS OF NEW ORLEANS, is a mystery set in 1900 in the early efforts toward women’s rights and equality.
Set against the backdrop of the first all-female Mardi Gras krewe at the turn of the century, the acclaimed author’s mesmerizing historical novel tells of two strangers separated by background but bound by an unexpected secret—and of the strength and courage women draw from and inspire in each other. GoodReads“An undercurrent of New Orleans’s dark side propels the story, heightening the tension and supplying McPhail with a wealth of evocative details.” – Publishers Weekly
I am thrilled to write a review for this fantastic book! Most movies and books honestly do not really "get" New Orleans correct when they try to tell a story about this city. This author Diane C. McPhail has written a book that captures the essence of New Orleans. It also has wonderful friendships between women who want to support and lift other women to achieve. GoodReads early reviewer
A dynamic first chapter sets the tone for this showcase of female friendship. Not everything is resolved, making the story all the more believable. GoodReads early reviewer
